Screaming hot alcohol. Even after several-hour decant. Way ripe. Bought a few years ago at a tasting at the vineyard and I don't recall it tasting like this. Hoping the 2nd half the bottle is more reasonable tomorrow from the fridge. // much better on day 3 cool from fridge. Chewy and powerful and still too ripe for me but Infinitely more drinkable. // best on day 4, chilled, with a pizza.

Not for me- too flat and jammy. Perhaps I'm drinking too early.

Solid less ripe, chewy showing good restraint and balance. Refined, yet high alcohol without dominating the senses

Drank the 2012. Well balanced, real big presence, dark berries predominate, a wine to drink with a hearty beef meal.

Excellent fruity zin with a point of view. Chocolate and berry (raspberry?) undertones - Served with roasted root vegetables and grilled steak. Exquisite, easy drinking wine.
